Not to mention how Zhao Zhu was shocked when he saw Tian Chu next to the carriage on the day he set off, in the Huguo Mansion, Zhou Yanzhi got a rest, and the three of them planned to go to the Great Xiangguo Temple to trade, and by the way, they saw the peach blossoms in the temple.
Zhou Qin sent someone to the temple to inform the old monk in advance, pre-arranged a clean side hall to rest, and ordered a table of fasting. On that day, the three of them calmly departed.
The old host of the Great Xiangguo Temple has passed away and the friendship of Taizu, after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, he got a large amount of private money from the royal family and renovated the temple. Although it has changed several presiding officers now, the temple is expanding more and more, and it has an area of hundreds of acres today, with more than 60 Zen monasteries and law institutes, and the scale of raising monks is more than 1,000 people, and the building is even more golden and shining, and the clouds are disfigured.
Because the temple boundary is very wonderful, it happens that in the most prosperous place, the old host saw that the surrounding vendors have no place to stand, so he opened the outer temple and part of the inner temple to the people every month for the sale of goods, and in the past few decades, it has developed into a huge trading market today, including clothing, stationery, medicine, supplies, snacks, etc.
After the Empress Dowager Tian listened to the government, although she did not suppress the things of Buddhism, she was not very enthusiastic, and without the large amount of silver taels sponsored every year, the presiding monks in Xiangguo Temple had to show their magical powers, and tried their best to raise the scene of more than 1,000 people. In the past three or two years, there have been a few famous people who have begun to take on some marriage feng shui things.
On this day, the reception was the great monk Zhiqing, he was the apprentice and grandson of the old presiding line, and there was some old friendship with the Huguo Mansion, and he took the three of them to wander around the temple, and took him to see the peach blossoms in the late spring.
After returning to the side hall where she was resting for a while, Mrs. Zhao sent Zhou Yanzhi out and asked him to "take my sister to go shopping by herself", and then she wanted to take a rest.
Zhou Qin snickered and followed his brother out of the hall, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he whispered: "I heard that there is a stone seal stall in the Scripture Pavilion behind me today......
When Zhou Yanzhi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he responded in a low voice: "Let's take a look?" ”
Zhou Qin knew that his brother had always loved to collect seal stones, so he naturally nodded yes, and thought that it was said that someone from the Western Regions brought a Dawan BMW to the market, so he also told Zhou Yanzhi.
Zhou Yanzhi laughed at her: "I nest at home every day, do you want to run a horse?" ”
"Try it for you?" Zhou Qin pursed his lips and sneered at each other.
Zhou Yanzhi smiled and said, "I want to go with you and take a look, do you bring riding clothes?" ”
Zhou Qin looked at the begonia that was following behind.
Haitang hurriedly stood up, "But I forgot to bring it, but there must be one outside today, so I'll buy it." ”
Zhou Yanzhi didn't bring it either, and Gui Zhi hurriedly followed.
Waiting for boredom, the brother and sister went directly to a place in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and sure enough, it was crowded, and they went around several circles of stalls, each with calligraphy, painting, antique stationery, etc., and there were a few vendors in the corner, paving the ground with oilcloth, and placing a full place of seal rough stones.
Zhou Qin followed his brother and approached, and carefully looked at those stones, but the common materials such as Shoushan and Qingtian were better than the many categories and different patterns.
The two of them slowly selected here, and at the corner door, a little girl in a light blue cloth gown looked carefully and shrank back.
In another side hall of Daxiangguo Temple, Zhao Zhu, who was walking in small clothes, was looking out the window, her expression was unpredictable, and she didn't say a word. At the entrance of the hall, there were more than ten guards, all of whom were well-suited.
At one time, a little palace maid came back, and was about to enter the house, but was stopped by several guards outside, took a waist card, and gave her name, and then an old woman stepped forward to carefully identify her face, and searched her body before entering.
Zhao Zhu took in this scene, turned his head and said to a few servants standing aside: "Go and call me Tian Chu!" ”
A palace maid took the order and left.
After a while, Tian Chu came to see him.
Zhao Zhu's face was extremely ugly, and he stared at Tian Chu and said, "Today, I want to ask, when I go out this time, my cousin is here to protect me, or to come to see me." ”
Tian Chu said calmly: "The Queen Mother asked me to protect the princess." ”
Zhao Zhu sneered: "I think you treat me as a thief." Pointing to the little palace maid standing aside with low eyebrows, "When my own people go in and out, they will be searched." ”
Tian Chu glanced at the palace maid, smiled, and said, "Does the princess really want to know the reason?" ”
Zhao Zhu snorted coldly.
Tian Chu shouted, "Han Qing." ”
Han Qing entered the door and saluted as usual.
He took a small bag in his hand, put it on the ground, opened it, and said to the palace maid: "Silver candle girl, you went out to buy clothes, but you didn't wear the tea and threw it away; You went to the Scripture Pavilion, just took a look at the side door and left, I don't know what important things to do? ”
Tian Chu looked at the baggage, and there was a folded light blue pigmented cloth jacket inside, and a turban with a covered head, all of which were sold everywhere in the market at this time, and as soon as he went out, he could see three or five women in such clothes.
The silver candle still stood, her head bowed, and she was silent.
A few palace maids standing in the room looked at their noses and noses, and their noses looked at their hearts, and they didn't even move.
Han Qing stared at the silver candle and asked again, "I don't know what the silver candle girl is doing?" ”
Zhao Zhu was furious and shouted at Tian Chu: "My people, is it the turn of a subordinate to shout?!" ”
Tian Chu nodded towards Han Qing, Han Qing bowed and explained: "People who don't dare to dispose of the princess at will, it's just that there are a lot of traders in the temple today, and I am afraid that a thief will sneak in and collide with His Highness." ”
Zhao Zhu glanced at him coldly and turned his head to look at Nanping.
Nanping stood up and said, "The princess asked Du Wei what to say." ”
The implication is that Han Qing is not qualified enough to come forward to explain.
Tian Chu's face sank like water, he tore off the sword at his waist, threw it to Han Qing, and said to him: "Take a few people out to patrol and see if there is anything unusual outside." ”
Han Qing held the sword in both hands and took the order.
Tian Chu turned his head, looked at the princess of Wei fixedly, and said: "I have received the order of the queen mother, and I will do my best to protect the princess, and I can't make a difference." Now there are many people, and the princess's subordinates go out on errands, and there is no reason to say it, and they have never greeted the guards, and if they don't stop outside, the princess will be flustered. ”
He used to use the queen mother as a pretense, and he was very familiar with this matter, and he felt that he didn't say enough, so he added, "Now that I see the place of the temple and the Taoist hall, I can't pay more attention to it, but Her Royal Highness the princess seems to be very calm, do you still want to go back to the Shangyuan Festival?" ”
Zhao Zhu was so angry that he fell back, pointed to the palace door and said, "You get out of here!" ”
Tian Chu saluted and slowly withdrew. As soon as I went out, I heard the sound of porcelain breaking from the hall.
Zhao Zhu waited for Tian Chu to go out of the door, and his face instantly regained calm, and he didn't see the anger he had seen a moment ago.
